Benefits of technology

This patent describes a display apparatus that includes a touch screen panel with a flexible printed circuit board connected to it. The panel is bent to create a more ergonomic and comfortable user experience. The flexible printed circuit boards overlap the sides of the panel and are reinforced by a reinforcement member that contacts both the flexible printed circuit board and the panel's side surface. The technical effects of the invention include improved accessibility and user-friendliness of the display, as well as reduced manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is possible that in bending these display panels, cracks might occur.
These cracks may render the display device inoperable or otherwise defective.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The inventive concept may be modified in many alternate forms, and thus specific embodiments will be exemplified in the drawings and described in detail in the text. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed, but rather, is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0021]In the following description, the terms “upper” and “lower” are used herein to describe the directions based on the drawings. Also, it will be understood that when a portion of a layer, a film, a region, a plate, or the like is referred to as being “on” another portion, it can be “directly on” the other portion, or intervening layers may also be present. Moreover, it will be understood that when a portion such as a layer, a film, an area, a plate, or the like is referred to as being “under” another portion, it can “be directly under” the other portion...

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a touch screen panel having an active area and a non-active area. The touch screen panel includes a first side and a second side. A display flexible printed circuit board is connected to the touch screen panel. The display flexible printed circuit board at least partially overlaps the first side of the touch screen panel. A touch flexible printed circuit board is connected to the touch screen panel. The touch flexible printed circuit board at least partially overlaps the second side of the touch screen panel. The touch flexible printed circuit board is bent toward a lower surface of the touch screen panel. A reinforcement member contacts a lower surface of the touch flexible printed circuit board. A portion of a side surface of the touch screen panel is connected to the second side of the touch screen panel.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This U.S. non-provisional patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0020720, filed on Feb. 21, 2018, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus, and more particularly, to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display apparatus with a reduced bezel.DISCUSSION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]Organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays represent an important display technology. As with most modern display devices, OLED displays often include a display panel and a touch panel. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels configured to display an image. Each of the plurality of pixels includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and a circuit unit configured to control the organic light emitting diode. The circuit unit includes at least a control transistor, a drive transistor, and a storage...
